Nighthawk R7000 -- WIRELESS speeds FASTER than wired speeds
Hi this is my first post here and it's a weird one for me. I've been running QoS for a while without issue but it seems like after an update and I'm not sure which one my Ethernet speeds have severel...
Have you tried changing the Ethernet cable?
What's your speed when you bypass the router?
Did you try all LAN ports on the router?
By the way, did you reset the route rafter firmware upgrade?
Yes i have done that and it comes back to me with 10,000 Kbps. which is what my total upload speed is. My download is 100Mbps. For now i have to leave my settings with advance QoS because this is the only way my network is stable. I run to PS4 consoles and this is the only way we can game together otherwise we get kicked. Right now my download speeds on wired are capped at 10Mbps. I think the speedtest might be limiting me. If i was to change that value manually my download speeds go up but things get a bit unstable.
All i want is the devices i have set to highest priority and that are wired to be able to download faster than 10Mbps. Everything else is fine.

I have a mixture of Cat5e and Cat6 ethernet cables all with the same result.
When i plug the modem directly to the router i get the full speed from my ISP.
Ive tested every LAN port and the result is the same.
No i havent attempted to do a factory reset after the firmware update.
I know doing a reset will cause me to have to setup everything all over again and set up my wifi. This week was a little hectic and didnt have time. Ill probably give it a shot one and see what ends up happening. Otherwise i might have to try to reflash the router or possibly get a new one.
Ok so I don't know how to edit a comment but I went ahead and did a factory reset by holding the button in the back. Setup everything except the QoS and so far everything looks good. Download speeds are normal and wifi isn't higher than Ethernet finally. I'm going to keep an eye for a week and try to do my everyday thing around the house and see how it holds up. If all is well I'll never turn QoS on again.
Keep us updated.
